That’s what USA Today speculates. Friends who have the first generation Kindle love it but they all travel – how neat to have every book you could possibly want on one, lightweight reader? But I don’t travel much, and certainly not by plane if I can help it – I don’t have the patience for idiot federal government security thugs, so I can’t figure out how I’d use one. Reading while driving is probably not illegal because no one’s thought to ban it yet but it doesn’t seem wise. Yet I want one of these, just as I lusted for years after a pair of binoculars with a built in compass which are really useful only on a boat, and I didn’t have a boat. I never did succumb to the call of those binoculars but I’m trying very hard to come up with reason why I need a Kindle. If any of you have solved this problem, please let me know.
